I begin to have my little idea on the picture that I will achieve. This is a landscape format for start.
Finally I make a mattepaint for my scene.
I painted some parts as the two mountains to give them a specific form.
After I might add a city with buildings, and the interaction between man and alien once I have asked the atmosphere than i want.
I will explain at the end my personal choices in relation to my image. I do not speak English very well, therefore I hope that I will arrive to make myself understood.

The city that I added is modern and futuristic
I want that the city makes us think about the near future even though the atmosphere may seem from another world
Free to interpret the image by imagination, places another planet ...
I moved a portion of the theater in Sydney and a building in Brazil
The rest of the architecture is painted.

Very beautiful scene you have so far. It's looking nice! How are you planning on showing the human and alien interaction in your image? Will this just be a backdrop for something taking place closer to the camera? Good luck!

I added elements trees, branches, stones, details that enrichient history of the image.

Here are the elements that have served the details of the images.

This is a great matte painting so far. The vines hanging from the top of the buildings are a little bit unnatural, but being an alien planet, that may not be a problem. I'm intrigued about the way characters are gonna fit into the picture.
Good luck!

Very nice painting :thumbsup: I'm a bit puzzled about what the alien-human relations should be?

I want to give one side, desert, death, a town inactive, uninhabited, a mysterious atmosphere of loneliness at the same time or nature resume dessus.Le the site is abandoned, buried by vegetation.
No apparent Life

the new born, the child will be the subject of my image, as I explained at the outset, I wanted to represent a landscape, a scene abandoned, buried by vegetation. No apparent life.
One could therefore ask the question, why this city is deaded.What's happened here?
The alien returns as the agent of the scene.The interaction happens between him and this child

I present to you my final image, the title of this image is the "beginning", it represents the interaction between humans and alien in a surreal world, but maybe the near future and real possible.Ouuuh I m crasy, all right...
The overall atmosphere shows no apparent life...
a city abandoned ...gloomy, morbid.
I wanted to bring together several themes, which represents the birth... the baby, the light in this world, clarity, death, which is the city, the dark side and this strange thing above.
It is not clear what it does, in any case this is something strange going on.
this baby represents hope.

Free to interpret the image as you want.
This is the beginning of a new era perhaps, a new life, a resurection, a new world that is being built this.
And sorry I don't speak English very well...my little interpretation.

I hope you liked this image and I think it's my first bigest image work.
Give me yours comments, I am still a student, it will make me happy, have criticized my work ...
and thanks, good luck
